The Search: An Insider's Novel about a University President
by Thomas Ehrlich"Buddy" Knowland was dead, keeled over with a heart attack during the game. Buddy's fans knew him as the most successful football coach in Nebraska State University history. His colleagues knew him as a misogynistic, foul-mouthed bully. Replacing Buddy would be one of the biggest tests that Charlie Rosen, the president of Nebraska State University, would face during his career. How to hire a replacement for the irreplaceable coach? How to keep the university trustees happy? And how to deal with the ghost of Buddy, which keeps hanging around the office? With his job on the line, Rosen must pull out all the stops. All in all, just an average day in the life of a university president.The Search is the first novel written by Indiana University President Emeritus Thomas Ehrlich. Although (almost) entirely fictional, it illustrates the competing pressures faced daily by university presidents around the country particularly as they struggle to maintain the primacy of academics over athletics.

The Second Death and the Restitution of All Things: the Life of Christ and our Universalist Destiny
by Andrew JukesThe Second Death and the Restitution of All Things by Andrew Jukes is a thought-provoking theological work that delves into the profound mysteries of eschatology, exploring the concepts of final judgment, the second death, and the ultimate restoration of all creation. With his characteristic depth and clarity, Jukes offers readers a compelling vision of God's redemptive plan for humanity and the universe.In this seminal book, Jukes examines the biblical teachings on the second death and the restitution of all things, drawing on scriptural passages from both the Old and New Testaments. He challenges traditional interpretations of eternal punishment and proposes a more hopeful and restorative understanding of God's justice and mercy. Through rigorous exegesis and theological reflection, Jukes argues for a view of the second death as a purifying process rather than a final, irrevocable condemnation.Jukes' exploration of the restitution of all things highlights the ultimate reconciliation and renewal of creation, as envisioned in the Bible. He paints a vivid picture of a future where God's love and grace triumph over sin and death, bringing about the restoration of all beings to their intended state of harmony and communion with the Creator. This vision offers a message of hope and assurance, emphasizing the boundless nature of God's redemptive purposes.The Second Death and the Restitution of All Things is an essential read for theologians, pastors, and laypersons interested in eschatology, soteriology, and the broader implications of God's plan for salvation. Jukes' profound insights and eloquent prose provide a fresh and inspiring perspective on the ultimate destiny of humanity and the cosmos.This book invites readers to reconsider conventional views on judgment and redemption, encouraging a deeper understanding of God's infinite love and the transformative power of divine justice. Andrew Jukes' work remains a significant contribution to Christian theology, offering a vision of hope that continues to resonate with believers seeking a more comprehensive and compassionate understanding of God's purposes.

The Second Letter to the Corinthians (The Pillar New Testament Commentary (PNTC))
by Mark A. SeifridNewest volume in the acclaimed Pillar New Testament Commentary series The question that Paul set before the ancient church in Corinth -- Do you not recognize that Jesus Christ is in and among you? (2 Cor 13:5) -- remains a critical question for the church today. This commentary by Mark Seifrid seeks to hear Paul’s message afresh and communicate it to our time. Seifrid offers a unified reading of 2 Corinthians, which has often been regarded as a composite of excerpts and fragments. He argues that Paul’s message is directed at the “practical atheism” of the Corinthian church -- the hidden heresy that assumes God’s saving work in the world may be measured by outward standards of success and achievement. Like all of the Pillar volumes, Seifrid’s commentary on 2 Corinthians offers careful grammatical analysis and exegesis with clear pastoral application.

The Second Testament: A New Translation
by Scot McKnightExperience the New Testament afresh in Scot McKnight's bold translation. Typical translations of the New Testament make the biblical text as accessible as possible by using the language of our own day. At times this masks the distance between the New Testament text and modern readers. Scripture continues to speak to us but it speaks as an ancient text to the modern world. New Testament scholar Scot McKnight offers a translation of the New Testament with a daring approach to the ancient text. Clever in its expression and at times stunning in its boldness, The Second Testament will challenge readers to experience God's Word anew. God blesses the beggars in spirit because theirs is Heavens’ Empire. God blesses the grievers because they will be consoled. God blesses the meek because they will inherit the land. God blesses the ones hungering and thirsting for the rightness because they will be satisfied. (Matthew 5:3-6) Features include: Complete text of the New Testament Brief introductions to each book Maps of key locations and events Glossary of key terms in the translation Full-cloth hardcover with foil stamping

The Secondary PSHE Co-ordinator's Handbook
by Colin NobleThis handbook provides the Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) co-ordinator in a school with everything that they need to deliver good practice in this subject. The book contains thorough guidance through policy and required practice and has a strongly practical bias. It shows through examples of good practice what can be achieved and how this can generally help to raise standards in schools. This is a topical, lively and up-to-date book which tackles the real issues facing schools, heads, co-ordinators and classroom teachers in an engaging and practical manner. It quotes from examples and case studies where strategies worked, and failed - but also keeps the learning of the pupil as the focus of all activities. The PSHE Co-ordinators Handbook is what every Head and PSHE co-ordinator needs to help them make practical sense of the new curriculum, the new PSHE, the new healthy school standard, social inclusion, citizenship, school councils, and the new Ofsted requirements - and how these can be woven together in a coherent way to support the raising of academic standards.

The Secret Book of John (Coptic Gospels and Associated Texts)
by M. David LitwaIn this volume, David Litwa offers a fresh introduction to the 'gnostic Bible,' arguably the most significant and widely read of all gnostic Christian texts ever written. Providing a fresh introduction to a particular version of the Secret Book of John, namely the shorter version that is found in Nag Hammadi Codex III, his study includes a new translation of this text and an extensive commentary in which he introduces the notable features of this codex and interrogates whether the Secret Book emerged from an actual gnostic community. Litwa also posits solutions to many questions related to this text, notably: its date and find spot, its relationship to the treatise known and summarized by Irenaeus in the late second century, its interpretation and re-creation of the book of Genesis for Christian readers, its novel interpretation of Greco-Roman philosophy, its foundations in apostolic authority, and the reception of the Secret Book of John in late antiquity, well into the fifth century CE.
